Haw River Assembly will be showing the film "Burned" and host an expert panel discussion after the film to address the ongoing fight against PFAS–widely used, long lasting chemicals that cause harmful health effects in humans and animals.
The film follows the story of Diane Cotter, whose husband, Paul, a firefighter of 27 years at the time, was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Cotter’s concern led her to question the materials used in Paul’s gear, which had been made using PFAS/PFOA and further sheds light on the numerous firefighters battling cancer.
Admission is free, but we ask patrons to still reserve their tickets ahead of time using this link: https://BURNED.eventbrite.com?aff=oddtdtcreator.
Doors open at 5:30 pm, and the film starts at 5:45 pm. Parking information can be found here. For more information or if you have any questions, please email events@hawriver.org or call 336-942-4031.
